leaving enough room at the top for the band to form to the
cap |
2 Second apply
heat evenly with a heat
gun or hair drier until the band has shrunk, giving
you a snug tamper evident seal. |
Things to keep in mind when using shrink bands
Container Design: The most common problem with bands is improperly designed components. If the bottle or jar you wish to shrink band has a straight neck with no lip, the band can be removed intact. To get a properly fitting shrink band the container should have a lip for the band to cling to. A straight-sided cap can cause a similar problem if the band does not come up and over the top.
Improper Shrinkage: To properly apply shrink bands you must use the right amount of heat in
the right place. Not enough heat will cause the shrink band to
not shrink around the container. Applying too much heat will stress
the shrink bands perforation causing it to break. If heat is not
evenly applied it will result in an uneven application of the
shrink band.
